| Project Description: |
| (Include services to be provided) The terminal roadway project is a two level interchange that provides ingress and egress for the airport. The interchange is mainly on FDOT right-of-way. The new interchange will require southbound traffic from I-595 and US1, which represents 80 percent of all incoming airport traffic, to make a 270 degree loop, which then provides improved weave and merge distances allowing substantial improvement to airport access from I-95/I-595 and local and state highways. The new entrance loop will replace the existing entrance bridges by merging the southbound and northbound traffic on a single alignment grade which creates an overpass leading in to the airport. The effect on flow will be a natural slowing of traffic, which is necessary for safety and adequate decisions time as traffic approaches the terminal complex. The roadway project will provide for direct access in to the new parking garage as well. The project consists of the construction of the return to terminal bridges spanning the FEC railroad and US1 north and south bound roadways. |
